-This is a multiplayer 'Civilisation(tm)' clone for X11.
+Freeciv is a free turn-based multiplayer strategy game, in which each
+player becomes the leader of a civilization, fighting to obtain the
+ultimate goal: to become the greatest civilization.
+
+Players of the Civilization series by Microprose should feel at home,
+since one aim of Freeciv is to have optional modes (called rulesets)
+with compatible rules.
+
+Freeciv is maintained by an international team of coders and enthusiasts,
+and is easily one of the most fun and addictive network games out there!
+
+That also means it has very extensive multilanguage support, something
+rare in games.
